I know this is an odd question.I had to quit coffee and tea.I have been adding this to hot water.Does the hot water degrade the ingredients at all?

Good question. Because I've never thought about mixing in hot water I honestly don't know if that can happen. I usually check "reputable/credible" websites such as Mayoclinic.org and webmd.com for information that's medical or health related--don't know if those sites would help you with this concern. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend heating water in this product. The whole idea is that you are pouring the already hot water over the grounds, and then stirring them which is the beginning of the brewing process. You would not begin with water in the glass part and then put in the coffee grounds, nor would you want to be microwaving a coffee grounds/cold water combo. Check out some youtube videos of how to use a french press. It's a special process, but one which I have found yields some of the best-tasting cups of coffee I've ever had. It's worth it to get out the old tea kettle and get some water boiling. You won't be disappointed. I would not recommend heating water in this product.

I haven't put it in tea but it dissolves in hot water just like regular honey.

I sprinkle it in the bottom of my coffee cup (to keep glucose from spiking): the hot coffee melts it as I stir it. I also sprinkle it on my vanilla ice cream (lactose free: I don't know about others). As for water that's not hot, I simply don't know the answer to that. The taste of this brand, I wouldn't change for anything.

I've had a similar experience. I suspect it has to do with minerals in the water. Assuming it comes from your tap water, it should be safe. If you really think this a problem then you could try using distilled water. I'm not a chemist, but the heating surface appears to be Teflon or something similar. So I typically remove the discoloration with mild soap and water, the sooner after it's cooled enough the better, or with some vinegar. As for safe, I use my regularly and have had no problems.

I've never used it with tea and I'm not sure if you could. However, it says on the jar to never put in hot water, just lukewarm. With that being said I don't think you put it in tea. Also, it's best to take it between meals on empty stomach. Hope this help!

I haven't found the filter to make a difference in my coffee. However I have found that it takes a long time after descaling even with lots of rinsing, to restore the taste. See if plain water tastes the same as it does directly from the tap but after you've run it through

When I got this message I finally changed out the filter and that fixed the issue. They have a big pack of filters on Amazon pretty cheap so I change ours out every 30-days. We make about 8-10 cups of coffee a day and use the hot water feature for cocoa, soups and tea. Hope this helps!

I have poured boiling water in for coffee, no problem. Washed up to as clear a finish as I began with! Hope this helps

I have no way of testing whether the bacteria survives in hot tea but everything I have read about kombucha indicates that it definitely does NOT survive in hot water. I hope this helps.

This is organic rose water, ingredients being only water and distilled rose . Have not tried it my tea or while cooking, however I'm sure it would be safe.

I don't notice coffee smell after a hot water and detergent wash. Coffee is a pretty hard odor to get rid of completely. I'm not sure it would be completely gone if you did a careful test.

Yes, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.

I've used this model for tea as well as coffee, and I have not noticed any lingering flavours. When using it for coffee, I wash it with very hot water only, but before making tea I will use a detergent to get the oils completely out. I also disassemble the screens between each use to ensure the grounds are completely removed. Some teas will embed themselves into the screen more than coffee grounds will, so you'll need to rub the screen to remove them all after use.

There are several theoretical answers to this question. I checked with some professional nutrition journals and the closest I came to an answer was a study published in the Pakistan Nutrition Journal. Higher water temperature increases the solubility of caffeine markedly. The time factor would increase the amount of caffeine dissolved also. The two effects may cancel out each other to make no significant difference between cold and hot brewed coffee. The time effect isn't as dramatic as the temperature effect, this leads me to think there is slightly less caffeine in the cold brew. I have been using the cold brew for both regular and decaffeinated. I don't feel a big difference between my cold brew and hot brew regular coffee. The cold brew gives a better product as there is little to no bitter after taste. There is no sure way to know unless a real study is done. Hope this helps.

The instructions that come with the PUR system say that it should not be used with hot water. I don't know what the result is if one does, however. Mine has accidentally been exposed to hot water a few times and shows no ill effects.
